6. The Clean High Slicked Ponytail
A classic high ponytail never fails. It delivers an instant lifting effect, keeps your hair completely off your neck, and takes less than three minutes to master.
- Best For: All hair types and textures.
- How to Style: Tilt your head back slightly and gather all your hair at the crown. Mist a fine-tooth comb or boar-bristle brush with a flexible-hold hairspray or edge-control gel, then sweep back any flyaways from your hairline toward the ponytail base. Fasten tightly with a sturdy elastic. For an extra polished look, wrap a thin strand of hair around the elastic to hide it, pinning the end underneath with a bobby pin.
